Computer&Automation goes International
Automation technologies are a cornerstone of modern industrial production – a field in which Germany plays a pivotal role. With globally recognized expertise, the German industry has significantly contributed to placing innovations such as Industry 4.0 on the global agenda.
These technologies are revolutionizing efficiency, flexibility, and sustainability in manufacturing processes. Against this backdrop, we are excited to announce the expansion of our editorial offering: Our magazine will now be available internationally with an Englishlanguage website and an e-paper.
